Subject: RE: BS: LSD keeps you sane
Hmmm... the posts and the study conclusions coroborate. Sample size is 130,000. Seems legit.

But, I have a question. Well... two. First, were any short term users, including one time users who jumped of a tall building surveyed? Second, should society as a whole care enough about those who "have mental problems" to deny those that don't the benefits (from the study conclusions) of the use of acid?

Never did acid. I saw many that did at uni... they seemed cool. I just couldn't see devoting so much time to being high. I smoked weed back in the 70s but it was a few hours of high at a time. Nor could I understand getting drunk for more than a few hours. Just didn't make sense to me. Especially the sickness that followed it.

I recall one night. The shroom lads in my residence (dorm) had a spaghetti scoff with magic mushrooms from PEI. Got a few stories about that night but here is the one that bothered me. One of my buddies from off campus arrived at my door. He held up his student ID and asked, "Is this me?" Four hours into the wee hours I "looked after him. It frightened me. After he went to sleep, I laid awake and watched him in case he got up and freaked out. Maybe I over reacted but I was very upset about it. Apparently, it can't be all bad because today, that lad is one of the top *s at the largest privately owned * company in the world. But that night, he didn't even know who he was.
